MUCILAGE-BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 430,481, dated J' une 1'7, 1890. Application filed January 31, 1890. Serial No. 338,753. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILBUR F. LITcH, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bottles for Mucilage, Ink, dac., which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a bottle for mucilage, ink, &c., having separate compartments for the iiuid, brush, duc.

4It also consists of a scraper for removing the surplus material from the brush, &c.

It also consists of a novel 4fastenin g for the lid or cover of the bottle.

Figure l represents a perspective View of a mucilage-bottle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section thereof. Fig. 3 represents a top or plan view thereof. Fig. 4 represents a perspective yiew of the brush and cover of the bottle. Fig. 5 reprey sents a perspective view of the scraper removed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a bottle or holder for mucilage, the same having an interior vertical divisional plate or wall gius dividing the bottle into compartments E designates the cover of the bottle and the holder of the brush F, the latter being secured to said cover.

Rising from the back of the body of the bottle is a swinging arm G, whose forward end carries an elastic wheel, disk, or head II, which is adapted to bear against the cover E and hold the same firmly on its seat. The swinging arm Gr is connected with a threaded cap J, which is fitted to a threaded boss K on the body of the bottle, whereby the arm may be raised and lowered and the tension or pressure of the head lH on the cover adjusted.

Vithin the bottle is a scraper L, which has a depending fork M, the latter being adapted to straddlc the wall B, and thus support the scraper, it being evident that said scraper may be readily removed by withdrawing it from the wall B and lifting it from the bottle.

The operation is as follows: Vhen access to the contents of the bottle is required, the

arm G is swung laterally, whereby the head H leaves the cover E and releases the cover of its holding action. The cover may now be raised, thus removing the brush from the conipartment C of the bottle. The brush may be dipped into the mucilage in the compartment D and the surplus removed by working the brush against the scraper L, said surplus dropping back into the compartment D. After the brush has rendered service it is returned to the compartment C, the cover E closing both compartments C D. The arm Gr is now restored to its position over the cover E, the

head H riding on the same until it reaches the depressed center of said cover, when it seats itself thereon, thus firmly closing the cover.

In order to provide a tight joint between the bottle and cover, the top of the former is provided with a gasket or packing N, against which the cover is pressed by the action of the head H.

In order to prevent the gasket from being displaced should the cover adhere to the same, it is desirable to hold said gasket rigidly on its seat. This may be accomplished by any suitable fastenings-such as pins, screws,

Sncf-or by locking-tongues of dovetailed or other form on the gasket, the same entering similarly-shaped grooves or recesses in the rim of the body on which the gasket is seated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isy l. A bottle or holder for mucilage, ink, dac., having abody with two compartments therein, a single cover for both compartments, and a brush secured to said cover and adapted to enter one of said compartments When the cover is closed, said parts being combined substantially as described.

2. A bottle or holder for mucilage, ink, dac., having two compartments therein, a scraper secured to the divisional wall of said compartments and extending into one end thereof, a single cover for both compartments, and a brush secured to said cover and adapted when the cover is closed to depend in the compartment not having the scraper, said parts being combined substantially as described.

3. A bottle or holder for mucilage, ink, dac., having two compartments therein, a single ICO cover Ifor saidcompartments, with a brush, the latter adapted to enter one of Said compartments When the cover is closed, and a swinging` arm having an elastic head bearing` against said cover When the saine is closed, said parts being; combined substantially as described.

4. A bottle or holder for mucilage, &c.,l1aving a cover and a swinging` arm adapted to raise when adjusted to one side and having an elastic head to engage said cover, substantially as described.

5. A mucilage bottle or holder having a cover, a threaded boss, and a swinging arm having a threaded supporting-cap fitted on said boss and carrying a head H at its free end, substantially as described.

6. A bottle substantially as described, an upright wall in said bottle, and a scraper L, formed with a depending fork M, Which is removably fitted over said wall, for the purpose set forth.
